( MllUkens' Grief1.
It was too bad, just after tlieee nioe
J-ains had filled the oietern np no finely,
too. It hud buen perfectly empty, ftud
Mr. Millikens, had just got it cleaned
and fixed up in time for the weloome
ehowers which filled it with an abund
anoe of nio- pure water. And the next
morning Mr. Millikens delivered his
family a touching lecture on the bles
sings of water, and in his beautiful and
vivid imagery, he quite surpassed the
Davidson fountain. And then when he
stopped the car at Maple street night
before last and walked rapidly to his
happy home, how do you suppose he
felt when his staring children mot him
at the gate and yelled in excited chorus :
"Oh pa, pa, pa, Mrs. Mnggridgers'
eat went and fell down our ciutern and
drowned 1"
Mr. Millikens always did Lmte that
cat of the Mnggridgers'. A great
brindled monster, with only one eye
and the hair scalded off its tail, it liiul
killed more little chickens in the Milli
kens' coops than there are rats in Iowa,
and many a time and oft, she had
found her way into the Millikens' cellar
and filled her bloated form with cream
and sirloin steaks. And Mr. Millikens
could not remember the number of
times he had sprainod his arm and
nearly threw his shoulder out of joint
in hulling bricks at that cat, which
would sit on the back fenc.e, singing
serenades and winking p'.aciilly ot him
with its lone eye, and wondering what
all the racket was about. That cat had
been the chairman of the anti-midnight
district central committee for three
years, and had attended more caucuses
and called more conventions in Milli
kens' back yard than it had hairs on its
back. It had made the summer nights
a burden to Millikens all its life, and
now it had drowned itself in his cistern
It was a piece of demoniacnl spite
work. You couldn't make Millikens
believe otherwise ; there was a terrible,
fiendish intelligence in that cat, and its
desire to torment Millikens had been
greater tlian its love of life. Ever
since Millikens had scalded the hair off
its tail he had been expecting some
thing like this.
If it hod been a decent kind of a cat,
he said, as he pulled off his coat, tucked
his trousers in his boots and began the
painful labor of emptying the cistern
with a bucket, he might have stood it to
get the cat out, and go on using the
water : but that one-eyed, rat-tailed,
hideous, serenade screecher, faugh I The
disgusting thing, he would never use the
cistern again; he would fill it up as soon
as he got the water out, and would dig
another one Dog gone the cat, he said.
He toiled manfully on, and the water
grew lower with terrible slowness. He
felt the bucket strike the hody of the
floating cat several times, but he hadn't
hauled it up yet. He kept on tugging
at the bucket rope till his arms ached.
And his back. And his legs. And his
head.
No, he snappishly told Mrs. Millikens
in answer to her tenth summons, that he
wasn't coming to supper till he had
emptied this cistern. He didn't care if
it was spoiling. What? Well, let the
flies eat everything up, he didn't care ;
he could eat the flies, he reckoned (sar
castically), couldn't he? Hey 1 Well,
he didn't care if it did take him a week,
he was going to keep at it till it was
emptied. Dog gone the cat, he wished
it was Muggridger himself that was in
the cistern. Blast a cat, anyhow.
How he did haul water, and splash his
clothes and sweat and swear, and how
the neighbor's wives huug over the front
fence aud talked glibly to Mrs. Milli-
lrnrtfl nlinuf. t.lia nnfnnfafwl. . ... J liwn lie
wisneu inoy were all in with the cat
And Mrs. Muggrider came and hung
over the fence and wept, and told won
derful stories of that cat's sagacity and
its affection for children. "Affections
for my chickens," Millikens muttered.
And the women talked and jabbered, and
pitied Mrs. Muggrider more than if it
had been one of the children that had
been drowned. Millikens toiled oa, his
face very hot at being made the focus of
so many eyes. Dog gone the dog-gonned
cat to tliuuder, he said, with considera
ble asperity. How ho did hate cats, he
said.
The cistern was trettinir nrettv low
now. The sun had gone down behind
the western hills, in a glory of peaceful
splendor, and the ruddy tints of the dy
ing day touched the clouds and sky with
a serene, solemn beauty, almost too
ethereal to lung over a world tainted
with the blight of sin and one-eyed cats.
The noisy prattlers at the frout fence
felt the hallowed influence of the hour,
and Silenoe laid her fiugers ou their lips.
Only Milliken's stertorous breathing and
the plash, plash of the bucket broke the
oppressive silence. Thank heaven, Milli
kens sighed, it is nearly empty.
" Miau-ow-ow-o.iw 1
A weird, unearthly shriek that ourdled
the blood in the bravest heart, and made
Millikens drop bucket, rope and every
thing down into the cistern. He stood
up and glared in speechless amazement
at Muggridgor's cat, perched on the back
fenoe. which winked pleasantly at him
with its loTie eye, and went ou calling
the names of the delegates. There
wasn't a damp hair on it. When Milli
kens could speak, he called his children
aud savagely demanded what they meant
by telling him that lie about the cat.
Well, pa," they said, "we thought
it fell dowu the cistern, anyhow; but we
couldn't see very well just where it did
go, and maybe it only run around the
box. "
There was weeping and wailing in
Millikens' house 4that night, but long
after the sobbing children had found a
place they could lie on without howling,
the voice of Muggridger's cat was dis
tinctly heard closing the debate, which
-had been unusually long and stormy, in
an eloquent argument against the ad
mission of violin strings free of duty.
Millikens heard every word of it, and he
pounded his pillow and flopped over to a
new position.
" Dog gone that cat !" he said. Bur

Washington Only Sister.
Mrs. Betty Lewis, Washington's only
sister, is described, in Scribner't Maffa
tine, as a worann of many virtues, and
well beloved of her famous brother. In
the future, however, she is mor likely to
be celebrated for her spelling than any
thing else. We quote the following let
ter from the article:
-v'- "Jclt. Blh, 179G.
" Mi Dear Bbotheb I received your
Letters of the 26th and 29th of June, the
day after I wrote to yon I was attack

Tl Is was probably the aged sister s
last letter to her brother; for she entered
into rest early in March, 1797. Her
portrait, taken in her youth, represents
her as a tall, handsome woman, with
brown hair and eyes her head held
proudly erect and her full lips firmly,
almost haughtily compressed, as if she
had just issued some positive command
to her army of tall sons.
Genius on a Tramp.
A wonderful piano-player with a ro
mantic .history is exciting the musicians
of Bridgeport. About two weeks ago a
shabby tramp entered a well-known
music-store on Main street, and asked
for permission to use a piano for a short
time. The proprietor refused at first,
but afterward consented because the
man's manners were much better than
his clothes. The tramp sat down and
.i;iuUuU composition witii great
ease and brilliancy. The pity and con
tempt of his listeners were at once
changed to admiration. Friends sprang
around him, and they are trying to get
him once more on his feet. His history,
as told by the Farmer, is as follows:
He belongs to a titled German family,
and had for his godmother and patroness
no less a personage than the Queen of
Wurtemburg. He received a university
education, and became a lawyer. He
was at one time consul to Paris from
Wurtemburg, and moved in the highest
circles of the capital when Napoleon
and Eugeuie were on the throne. The
cause of his fall from all this high
ei-.tato was dissipation of the wildest
kiud. As a result of his wild and reck
less courses, he lost his official position
and standing in society, and not only
squandered the income from his family
estate as fast as it came to him, but, in
ordor to raise money, sold his claim to
what should ba due him for twenty
Reven years ahead. When he had ex
hausted his resources at home he came
to this country and engaged in some
kiud of business or occupation in New
York. His ignorance of the language,
or the dishouesty of his associates, or
both, caused him to fail, however, and
left him utterly destitute. It was then
that ho started out from New York on
the tramp, picking up an odd job now
and then on the roul, but growing all
the while more ragged and wretched.
His aimless tramping journey had
brought him so Jar as Bridgeport on the
morning when he passed the music
store, and was irresistibly impelled, by
a sight of the pianos, to go in and ask
to be allowed to play. New Haven
Palladium.
The Force or Habit.
Among the conspirators shot the other
day for scheming the massacre of the
president aud his ministers in Guatema
la was a young student, by name Rafael
Segura, whose skill in forgery is repre
sented as having been surprising. He
had forged tho signatures of the presi
dent aud general-in-chief to various
fraudulent documents and orders re
quired for carrying the plot into execu
tion. On being arrested he was brought
before the president, and pleaded in de
fence of his acts that he was without a
father, and absent from his mother, and
that by promises of promotion under the
new regime and of large sums of money
he hal been induced to commit the
forgeries in question. The president
requested him to give a proof of his
talent, which he did by immediately
writing an order with the name of the
president so exactly imitated that even
the president himself declared that un
less tie had seen it written he could not
have told that it was not his own.
Thinking that a youth possessed of such
gifts might ultimately become a useful
member of sooiety and a good servant of
the Republic the president told him
that he would give him a full pardon,
and, further, would, if lie wished it, as
sist turn in iiis career Dy giving mm em
ulovment under the government. Se
gura, who thanked the president for his
generosity, made the most earnest as
surances of good conduct in future. The
first use. however, he made of his liber
ty was to forge an order for the release
of Rhodas.one of the principal offenders
an order which only by the merest ac
cident failed to effect its purpose. This
was too muoh for the president, aud Se

military tribunal, was shot with the

The King of Smokers,
A year or two fitro there died in Rot
teidam a certain Mynherr Van Klaes, to
whom is certainly due the title of " The
King of Smokers." To gain this dis
tinction in the great nation of puffers
must require almost superhuman pow
ers and a love for the Indian weed that
passes human understanding. But Van
Klaes was ever superior to the emer
gency. It took no effort on his part to
gain the smoky crown and wear it while
he lived. He did not even die young,
as we might have anticipated from his
immoderate use of thb weed, but both
enjoyed life and smoking until after he
had passed his eighty-first birthday. f
During the long Vista of smoking
years in which he reveled in his pipo,
Van Klaes consumed four tons of tobac
co, well wetted down by 690,000 quarts
of ale which he drank, not to mention
Schiedam schnapps and other national
beverages.
In Mynheer's house was a sumptuous
apartment, entirely devoted to pipes and
tobacco. Every variety of weed grown
on the earth's surface was to be found
there, in the plug, cut up or shredded;
cigars, cigarettes and cigarillas were
grouped about in tasteful display. But,
above all, Mynheer's pipes first riveted
the visitor's eye. Iu this choice collec
tion every branch or variety of the pipe
family had its representative; one could
trace the whole evolution of the race,
from the clumsy bowl and thick stem of
Sir Walter Raleigh's c lay to the carved
meerschaum from Trebizond.
In this temple of tobacco the veteran
would pit, pulliug prod-'gious volumes of
smoke from his weil-filled pipe, only
pausing now and then to wet his thirsty
lips with a drink of ale. It is said that
his last reflecting breath was borne from
his lifeless body ou a cloud of smoke.
A few hours before his death Von
Klaes palled for a notary to make his
will. Pufliug vigorously, and after tak
ing a pull at his Sahiedam, Mynheer
gave precise directions for the per
formance of his obsequies. In the first
place, his coffin was to be thoroughly
lined witli the top, bottoms and sides
of boxes that had contained his favorite
cigars; then a bladder of the finest dry
cut Dutch golden leaf was to be placed
at his feet. Most importaut of all, his
favorite pipe must be laid at his side.
A firm conviction that his soul was not
going to dwell in those latitudes where
fire is sure to be close at hand, caused
Mynheer to direct his executor to place
a box of mat jhes by his side, and, with
great foresight, he also desired that a
flint and steel should be added, as by
some unforeseen occurrence the matches
might dampen before they would be
wanted.
Havinar thus attended to his personal
wants in the next world, Van Klaes de
sired that the smokers in the neighbor
hood should be invited to his funeral,
each one to be presented with ten pounds
of tobacco and two pipes stamped with
the name and arms of Van Jxlaes, to
gether with the date of the donor's
demise. These guests were to be ad
monished to keep their pipes lighted
during service and to scatter ashes on
the coffin as it was being consigned to
mother earth.
The poor of the vicinity who observed
these instructions faithfully were to be
presented on the anniversary of Myn
heer's death with ten pounds of tobacco
and a firkin of ale apiece. After these
items were arranged to his liking Myu
heer smoked his last breath, constant to
the last, and certainly deserving to be
immortalized as the " greatest smoker
since the flood. "
The Comstock Mines.
A correspondent writes about the cele
brated Comstock mines in Virginia city
Nev., as follows : The demand for tin
ber and fuel for the Comstock mines is
immense, and from the base to the
summit of the Sierras the pine forests
are beinor ranidlv denuded The cost of
the timber which is put underground to
prevent the mines from cavmg in is
817,000 a day, or 86,200,000 a year,
The demand of the bonanzas alone is
some 2,200,000 feet a month. The tim
ber used is transported over a narrow
gauge railroad running from Glenbrook
to the summit of the Sierras, 1,500 feet
above the level of Lake Tahoe. The
road is 9J miles in leugth, with an
abi'tipt, tortuous grade of from 120 to
165 feet to the mile. It passes through
a tunnel cut out of the solid rock 500
feet in length. On reaching the summit
the timber is placed and sent on its-way
iu a V-shaped flume of somo fourteen
miles in length, extending over the rocky
and rugsred portions of the mountains to
Carson City in the villev. Often a day's
run in the flume is oou.UiiO feet of timber
and 1,000 cords of wood for fuel. The
cost of firewood is $6,000 daily. I am
told that the cost of the candles used in
the mines daily is $16,000, while the
cost of ice to cool the water for the miners
in the lower level is $12,000 a day. The
expenses of milling are $16,000 a day,
These and other expenses bring the total
cost of working the Comstock mines up
to at least $70,000 a day, or $25,560,000
a year.
The heat in the lower levels of the
Comstock mines is perfectly intense, and
it is a wonder how men can endure it
but they do. I have been talking with
a miner, who tells me that in some of
the drifts it is next to impossible for
men to work. Aliuers are so often over
come with the hpat that they are render
ed insensible. Fresh air is constantly
supplied. There are cooliug-off rooms
or boxes provided in the mines, where
the temperature of the air is kept down
by compressed air, and these places af
ford some relief. It is so hot that men
often get their skins blistered as bad as
if it had been done by scalding steam.
Very often the iron tools are so hot that
they cannot be touched without burning
the hand. The work in -ueveral mines
is carried on to a great tliiad vantage on
account of the reoaloitraucy of the neat.
How Artemus Ward Wrote.
A friend of Artomns Ward, who was
with him ou the Cleveland Plaindealer
for some time, says he used to be inces
santly whittling Lis chair and desk. His
manner of writing was as peculiar as
everything eke about the man. His
mission in life seemed to be to hunt up
funny things. When lie found them,
out of his own head or elsewhere, he
himself enjoyed them better than any
one else. As he sat writing, when the
funny ideas struck him, he would laugh
with a gnffaw which seemed to shake him
from his heels upward. He sat in his
arm-chair, always with his left lej swung
over the arm of his chair. When the
joke came he used to pound the table
with his flat, slap the long, tbin leg that
hung over the chair, and explode with
laughter. It was his habit to share a
good joke with his associates in the office
atonoe. He loved sympathy as if he
had been a woman, and seemed to stand
as much in need of it. He wrote rather
ranidlv. and writinsr seemed to come
easy to him. He laughed, nearly all the

Japanese Holidays.
The Japanese are supposed to have no
days of rest, aid a religions day of reBt
iney certainly nave not. xne sliops are
never closed escept for a day or two at
the new year,aid Biich a thing as a close
holiday like the English Sabbath is
totally unkowt to them. The govern
ment officers, , however, have regulor
rest days, called "ichi-roku," one-six.
The first, sixth, eleventh, sixteenth.
twenty-first aid twenty-sixth of the
month are the holidays, and these days
are ooservea ly ail tne omciais and up
per classes. According to 'the Japan
Mail, however, it is the intention of her
majesty the empress to observe Sunday
os the rest day in lien of the ichi-roku.
When the Japanese altered the calendar
from the lunai to the Julian it was said
that this change was to have been f.lso
introduced ; but nothing more was
heord of it, and subsrnuently there was
an attempt oi the part of some Japanese
authorities to induce foreigners in their
employ to leep ichi-roku instead of
Sunday, but in this they failed. We do

" Becoming at length satisfied of tho truth of

Profiting by the experience and advice of the
